Notes This first concert of the 1978 tour proved to be a major problem in trying to sort out a decent tape.
There are two different mono tapes, but neither is particually good; one LB-4760 is fairly dull sounding, and the other LB-1018 is very harsh and distorted (over-recorded?).
I haven't used the LB source tapes, but have mastered these recordings from my cassettes of these recordings.
Here I have used the best part of the less harsh tape and only used the second tape for the last 4 songs. For these last 4 songs the less harsh tape gets noticably poorer, and as the concert seems to drop in volume the harsh tape begins to sound a lot better. Additionally, the first tape tends to have drop outs and major volume reductions on one channel, so I tended to use the better channel for large parts of the tape.

Make sure you have a listen to the only performance in 1978 of "Something There is About You"
